This online course is specifically geared towards the nexus of landscapes and business. Commonland, together with the Rotterdam School of Management, Estoril Conferences, CSIC and UN’s Land Restoration Training Programme, has taken the initiative to develop this course. This consortium, known as ENABLE - the European Network for the Advancement of Business and Landscape Education - aims to educate the next generation of business leaders with an ecosystems’ view, ready to include landscape-related issues in their decision-making processes, thus making businesses more sustainable and a force for good.

Online courses

Particularly for statistical or methodological courses, we see an added value in taking one or more online courses. We are currently not actively organising such courses ourselves, but you are generally referred to places like www.coursera.org for browsing through a very broad range of online courses. If you have doubts about the quality, applicability, or value of a certain online course for your development, we strongly urge you to check this with your supervisory team, but you are also most welcome to consult us for checking this.
